I collect vintage rings, and I now take them all to Tigges for sizing and repair, because Barbara is knowledgeable, no-nonsense and awesome. Their repairs are flawless, and any piece of jewelry you take there will come out looking, fitting and sparkling better than ever. They took an old ring of mine which had a weird flaw in the band from a previous sizing and made the flaw completely disappear.
Also, they have an old fashioned ring sizing system - instead of just a series of rings hanging together on a main ring like at all other jewelry stores, so that when you try on the various ring sizes you have this huge mass of all the other rings hanging off your hand, they have a leather case that has one of every ring size each nestled into its own little velvet compartment. So much more elegant, and you get a truer measure of your ring size this way. If you're not sure how tightly a ring should fit, Barbara will explain it to you, and she can also explain how to get a ring off that is too tight, and how to best care for your pieces!
